Hello everyone,
I have tested out loads of distros and have at last discovered Netrunner. I ran the Live version and absolutely love it, but when it comes to install I seem to have a big problem: firstly it doesn't give me the opportunity to install alongside another system - all the options are for Netrunner to take over a complete drive.

Then, when I switch to manual, I start to create partitions on an unallocated area of one drive (that I made especially for this installation) and I am able to make the primary partition "/" and the swap, but then it tells me the remaining space can't be used, so I can't create /home.

Please, can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? (Or perhaps explain what an idiot I am!)

Hello again. I thought I would tell you how I solved this - in what I imagine is a most unorthodox manner: I installed ChaletOS, and then wiped and reformatted the partitions it created. When I then went to Netrunner's install, the old ChaletOS partitions showed up and I was able to install to them. Netrunner also rewrote the GRUB entries. So all is well, and I am delighted to be running Netrunner.

Hi griff2 and welcome to Netrunner Community
Your example is the reason we are developing Calamares, the installer that allows to pick any partition and auto-overinstall them with a new system.
It will be used in upcoming Netrunner Rolling 2015.09 and eventually land in the Kubuntu based version as well, replacing ubiquity then.
